WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 2 pounds Brussel sprouts, trimmed and outer leaves removed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 shallots, minced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted and chopped

HOW TO PUT IT TOGETHER:

1.     Shred Brussel sprouts in batches in food processor 

I cut the Brussel sprouts in quarters rather than shredding them!

 2.    Melt butter over medium-high heat in large heavy nonstick skillet.  Add shallots and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute.  Add Brussel sprouts and cook, stirring, until ust slight softened, about 5 minutes.  Stir in basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.  Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with pine nuts.

Per Serving – about 1 cup
